Hiring: AI/ML Robotics Engineer Company: Programmers.io Location: Cupertino, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-16 22:35:18 Target Skills & Keywords : Assembly, CAD, Python About the job Required Skills: •Design and build custom mechanical fixtures to apply controlled stress (e.g., cyclic loading, vibration, bend/flex, thermal, or compression) to products under test. •Integrate stress-test fixtures with CT scanner hardware — ensuring fixtures fit within scanner bore/stage constraints, are compatible with rotation stages, and don't introduce imaging artifacts (material selection, geometry, X-ray transparency). •Develop Python software to control test fixtures, synchronize stress cycles with CT scan sequencing, and automate data logging for long-duration/unattended testing. •Collaborate closely with CT/imaging, product design, and failure analysis engineering teams to align test design with product risk areas. •Iterate quickly on fixture design based on test results and CT findings. •Document fixture designs, integration procedures, and test results for reproducibility and cross-team use. •Drive projects independently — identifying testing gaps, proposing solutions, and executing with minimal oversight. Qualifications: •Proven experience designing and building custom mechanical/electromechanical test fixtures, ideally for product stress, durability, or reliability testing. •Strong background in robotics and mechatronics: mechanical design, motion control, actuators, sensors, and system integration. •Proficiency in Python for fixture control, automation, and data analysis. •Practical experience applying AI/ML to engineering, imaging, or test data •Self-driven with strong ownership mentality — comfortable defining and executing complex technical projects with ambiguous requirements. •Strong mechanical aptitude — able to work hands-on with hardware (assembly, wiring, troubleshooting, fit-checks). •Excellent cross-functional communication and documentation skills. •Direct experience with CT (computed tomography) systems — understanding of scan geometry, stage/bore constraints, and material considerations (X-ray attenuation, artifact avoidance) for fixture design. •Background in failure analysis, particularly correlating mechanical stress testing with radiographic/CT imaging findings. •CAD proficiency (e.g., SolidWorks) for fixture design and CT-envelope fit-checks.
